Scalability Testing

What Is | Testware's Services | Benefits | Contact Us

Wondering how your website, web or client/server application performs as the number of concurrent users grows and grows? Testware's scalability testing services can help you address this specific performance testing issue and other issues as well.

What is Scalability Testing?

Scalability testing exercises an application at an increasing number of concurrent users to determine when the application fails. The definition of failure for scalability testing purposes depends on the business need and criticality of the application under test. Common failures include the server hanging up or crashing, or the average application response time going from several seconds to several minutes.

Why can't the number of concurrent users just keep growing and growing without having any effect on the application? Bottlenecks, found in every application, prevents this from happening. Bottlenecks might lurk in one or more of the Web server, the application server, the database server, the application code, the network infrastructure...or in many other areas.

Scalability testing can be considered a specific case of performance testing.

Benefits

Find bottlenecks before your users do. We're experts in scalability testing for websites, databases, client/server and Web applications. We will use the appropriate automated performance testing tools to determine the user "capacity" of your system and help identify where the bottlenecks are in the system.

A scalability testing solution that matches your exact needs. Already have a testing tool and some test scripts written? Starting from scratch? Need the testing done at your site? Don't have enough room or equipment for additional people? Just want scalability testing "answers" without purchasing any automated tools? We will craft a matching solution that precisely meets your scalability testing needs.

Gain confidence in your system. Let Testware deploy its proven scalability testing methodology to find out how your system performs as the number of simultaneous users grows. We will help isolate scalability problems and work with you to find solutions.

Leverage our experience. Scalability testing is often a short-term, cyclic effort. Building performance analysis and performance tool expertise in-house usually takes a considerable amount of time…time you probably don't have, since answers are needed now. Leverage our experience -- outsource the entire scalability testing effort to us, or let us help you simultaneously build scalability testing expertise in-house and meet your near-term testing and release deadlines.
